    I was on methylphenidate for a long time since I was a kid, and it was getting a lot tougher to do stuff. Doc switch me to amphetamine. First time I took it was exactly like I remembered how the world worked, and I didn’t need to process and react to everything. I was chill. Complete. In the moment. My imagination had been reigned in. My emotions were under my control.
